Marigold 
Dixie Sunshine 
This new and unique Mari¬ 
gold received an Award of Merit 
in the All American Flower 
Selections for 1936. The flow¬ 
ers are large and bell¬ 
shaped, of a dazzling 
yellow color, and most 
ingeniously composed of 
dozens of tiny, very 
attractive five-petaled 
florets. This exquisite 
Marigold will add to the 
charm of your garden, 
but should be planted 
earlier than other vari¬ 
eties, as it blooms later. 
Height 2 ft. Pkt. 25c. 
Zinnia 
Desert Gold 
No description can do justice to this 
aristocrat among Zinnias, it’s dual 
two-tone beauty comprising a light 
and deeper hue of gold, each petal be¬ 
ing over-laid at base with a deeper 
golden yellow. Those who love yellow 
Zinnias will appreciate Desert Gold, 
as it is equally effective in day or 
artificial light. Height 2 ft. Pkt. 10c. 
Dixie Sunshine Marigold 
Aster 
Super Giant El Monte 
This new aster was awarded special 
mention in the All American Flower 
Selections for 1936. The dainty, glow¬ 
ing rich crimson flowers are composed 
of abundant quantities of inter-laced 
plume-like petals, and are extremely 
large and fluffy, and borne on heavy 
non-lateral bramching stems. Blooms 
very early, and remains in flower over 
a long period. While not wilt-resistant, 
it is highly recommended to those who 
prefer an attractive red aster. Height 
2 ft. Pkt. 25c. 
Orange Flare Cosmos 
Zinnia 
Scabiosa Flowered 
A most attractive Zinnia, 
and when better known will be 
in every garden. The 
flowers measure two in. 
or more across, and 
bear remarkable resem¬ 
blance to the Annual 
Scabiosa, from which it 
takes its name. It can 
be had in mixed colors 
only, and the colors 
range through shades 
of crimson, orange, 
pink and yellow. Only 
about 50 % come true to 
type. (See illustration 
on p. 75). Height 2 ft. 
Pkt. 10c. 
Aster—Super Giant FI Monte 
Petunia 
Flaming Velvet 
This beautiful Petunia is of the hy- 
brida variety and received the only 
Gold Medal in the All American Flow¬ 
er Selections for 1936. Is a flaming 
brilliant velvety blood red, which fair¬ 
ly picks up the sunshine and throws 
it back as you gaze upon it. It is out¬ 
standing for color, type and uniform¬ 
ity, and blooms all summer. Truly a 
splendid novelty. Height 15 in. Pkt. 25c. 
Cosmos 
Orange Flare 
Orange Flare Cosmos 
received a Gold Medal 
in the All American 
Flower Selections for 
1935. It has the same 
vivid orange color of Klondyke and the 
attractive light green foliage, but will 
bloom in less than four months from 
seed. The stems are long and wiry, and 
well adapted for cutting. A very popu¬ 
lar flower. Height 3 ft. Pkt. 15c.
